kaasunvaihdossa
Kaasunvaihdossa, often translated as gas exchange, is a fundamental biological process crucial for the survival of many living organisms. It refers to the diffusion of gases from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the context of respiration, this typically involves the uptake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide.
For terrestrial animals, gas exchange occurs primarily in specialized respiratory organs such as lungs. Air enters
Aquatic organisms, like fish, utilize gills for gas exchange. Gills are feathery structures with a large surface
Plants also engage in gas exchange, primarily through small pores on their leaves called stomata. Through stomata,
